Hong Kong Island Old Events

One of He Dingxian's favorite things to do after moving into his new home was reading newspapers. He read newspapers in the living room under electric light after get off work at night.

This is the luxury of the last century.

The newspaper may contain political news, business news, as well as information on building style and romantic reviews. In short, it is very exciting.

If only I could buy a radio.

At the stage of career development, every money has expenses. It is really hard to bear to spend hundreds of dollars to buy a radio.

early morning.

When He Dingxian arrived in Yau Ma Tei, he heard the greeting from the military uniform at the gate: "Brother Xian, good morning."

"Good morning."

He Dingxian nodded.

He is already a celebrity in the Yau Ma Tei Police Station, at least he has a small status among the uniformed police. Even the uniformed team leader and plainclothes detective will show off a bit of face. As the movie store business grows, Hua Yaoxian's reputation also increases. It gradually spread in Kowloon area.

Killing Guilidong at first only proved that he was ruthless, but later he built a movie store, which gradually proved that he had brains, and everyone preferred to be friends with promising people.

He Dingxian walked all the way to the door of the Sheriff's Office on the second floor, raised his hand and knocked on the uniformed Sheriff's door: "Da da da."

"Please come in."

Chen Li raised his head and saw He Dingxian closing the door and standing at attention at the door, saluting: "Sir!"

"Axian, come and have some tea." Chen Li smiled and waved to him, asking him to sit on the chair in front of him. He stood up and made a cup of tea and placed it at the table.

He Dingxian took the tea and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir."

"What's the matter?" Chen Li asked, leaning on the chair.

"The third movie store in Yau Ma Tei is about to open tonight. I hope to invite the chief to come to the scene. Having a chief cut the ribbon for the movie store will definitely make it more popular." He Dingxian's mouth felt like honey, and Chen Li couldn't refuse, so he just said : "Is this your seventh movie store?"

He Dingxian smiled and said: "The fifth room, the fifth room."

"Brat."

Chen Li pointed at him and said with a smile: "Okay, I will go with Detective Zeng to support the scene for you tonight."

He Dingxian's eyes were quite surprised: "Inspector Zeng is here too? I'm so grateful. I will definitely treat the two officers to a good meal when the time comes."

Chen Li said with a smile: "After all, I smoked your cigarettes...can I buy a whole carton of good cigarettes for nothing? With your character, you won't be able to smoke tree leaves for me next time!"

He Dingxian chuckled and said, "Mr. Chen, you're just kidding. Where can I smoke leaves? I'll at least give you some smoke."

"Street boy, get out of here!" Chen Li laughed and cursed. He Dingxian stood at attention, saluted, and shouted: "Goodbye, sir!"

The benefits of giving two one-dollar stores in Yau Ma Tei to Chen Li and Zeng Shaoke are now reflected.

Chen Li and Zeng Shaoke appeared at the same time, which represented the full support for him from the Chinese forces in the Yau Ma Tei Police Station and the Chaoshan Gang police community.

Once something goes wrong, the Chinese police detectives in Yau Ma Tei can be mobilized 100%, and it is possible to leverage the resources of the entire Chaoshan Gang police community.

Moreover, he gave priority to the Yau Ma Tei Temple Street and Kwong Wa Street movie stores to his two bosses, which produced very good results.

He only took the last Shanghai Street movie store to open. Firstly, Shanghai Street was considered his territory. Both black and white had to sell a certain amount of face. The business of the movie store was guaranteed. Secondly, Temple Street and Guanghua Street had more oil and water. It shows more sincerity to the boss. The first two stores opened earlier in the third year, and the profits have already been reflected in one month. When the real money is distributed to the boss, the boss can feel the weight and truly support it.

If Zeng Shaoke hadn't received a dividend of more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars this month, he might not have stepped forward to support him. He and Inspector Zeng were really not friends.

But now there are common interests, and there is friendship even if there is no friendship. Inspector Zeng likes him very much...

Most of Ho Ting-hsien's income in the past month has been invested in the expansion of movie stores. Two of them in Yau Ma Tei have no direct monetary return, and only 10,000 Hong Kong dollars have been filled in. The main funds are used to purchase projectors and old video discs. The remaining bit is for seats and labor expenses. A small part of the income is used to move to a new house, pay a deposit, and buy some furniture, which is just enough for living.

However, with a monthly net income of 60,000 to 70,000 Hong Kong dollars from five movie stores, he has stepped into the "banking district" of Yau Ma Tei. The income of the fifth store is expected to be extremely considerable, and his social status has changed significantly, and his life will also be better and better. good.

Evening, five o'clock.

He Dingxian arranged five rickshaws in advance to guard the door. As soon as he saw Detective Zeng in plain clothes and Sergeant Chen in military uniform going out, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers to Ni Kun. Ni Kun immediately called his brothers and dragged the rickshaw He ran forward, lowered his head and said, "Hello, sir!"

He Dingxian enthusiastically invited Zeng Shaoke and Chen Li to get in the car, accompanied by Zeng Inspector Ma Linmao and Chen Li's right-hand man Dajiao.

Da Jiao has already called He Dingxian brother and sister, and Lin Mao is also kind to him. The two of them are now one level higher than him, but it can be seen that He Dingxian is being used in a big way, and they are naturally very considerate among their colleagues. Even Inspector Zeng is also concerned about He Dingxian's arrangements. Very satisfied, we got in the car and walked towards Shanghai Street together.

It's only a ten-minute walk from the Yau Ma Tei Police Station to Shanghai Street, but a group of people can feel different when going out on foot or by car. Everyone prefers a more majestic style.

Lard Boy was waiting at the dollar store on Shanghai Street. Since there are shops on both sides of the street, the dollar store can only be opened in an open space at the end of the street.

These days, even the "Bank District" in Yau Ma Tei still retains a rural atmosphere. There are many vacant lots that no one has built and can be used. Only the Central area on Hong Kong Island has a real urban atmosphere, with more than ten storeys of buildings built, and most of them The famous Paramount Nightclub, Yau Tsim Mong, where land is so valuable in the future, has just been developed. It has brought together a large number of poor people and has not attracted the attention of big real estate. Now is undoubtedly a good time to enclose land.

He Dingxian must buy every site where a movie store is opened in the future!

At this time, the rickshaw of Zeng Shaoke, Chen Li and others had just stopped. Lardboy and his four newly recruited helpers raised bamboo poles and set off lively firecrackers, attracting many passers-by to watch.

He Dingxian covered his ears in embarrassment, stood next to Zeng Shaoke and Chen Li and smiled: "I'm sorry, sir, the people in the store are good at making opinions."

Zeng Shaoke waved his hands happily: "It doesn't matter, the new store opening is a blessing, it's better to be lively."

"Thank you, Inspector Zeng. Chief Chen and all the officers are here. Please come in." Lardboy stepped forward to greet him warmly at the right time. His honest and cute fat face was very endearing.

At the same time, Shek Kip Mei, the first dollar movie store.

Wu Shihao and his people were cleaning and arranging seats, while Wu Shijie was sitting on a wooden bench at the door selling movie tickets. He had already sold more than 30 of the 100 tickets he had.

Guests gathered in twos and threes at the stall next to it, some eating wontons and some eating cart noodles. Suddenly, a group of people pulled a cart to the open space opposite and erected a signboard.
